For safer football

Our goal is to ensure that anyone affected by interpersonal, physical, emotional, or sexual violence and abuse in the football ecosystem has timely access to independent guidance and expert support. We follow a survivor-centred, trauma-informed approach, ensuring that every person who reaches out to us is heard, supported, and protected with care and respect.

Who we are

YourSide is an independent, pioneering initiative that offers impartial guidance and confidential support to survivors, victims, and whistleblowers in the football ecosystem. We serve as a trusted first point of contact, connecting individuals with the right resources and helping strengthen football’s global response to abuse.

What we do

YourSide provides independent advice and support to close the gap in alternative reporting mechanisms and trauma-informed responses available to victims, survivors, and whistleblowers in the football ecosystem.

Why we do this?

At YourSide, our mission goes beyond offering care – we work to manage risk and strengthen response to violence and abuse in the football ecosystem.

YourSide acts as both as safety net and complement to existing institutional mechanisms, giving those affected an independent, credible, and trusted pathway to be heard and supported – and helping to reduce the risks associated by lack of reporting.
